One of the things to be learnt in a foreign language is guessing all the time what kind of thing to come when listening to someone talking. People do this all the time in their own language, so it is necessary (必要的) to do this in a foreign language, too. Here are some examples. 1. "What's the matter？" "I went to a party last night, so I…" 2. "I feel so tired these days."" I think you'd better…" 3."Of course, she never stops talking. She is one of the most…"
You can see from the above three examples that the context (上下文) helps a lot in understanding what is being talked about. So "guessing "is very important in understanding English, especially (尤其)spoken English.

In the USA, there are many kinds of restaurants.
Fast food restaurants are very famous. You can find McDonald’s and Kentucky Fried Chicken in many countries around the world. You look at a menu (菜单) on the counter (柜台), and say what you’d like to eat. You pay the person who brings food to you. You take your food and sit down or take it away. There’s no need to leave a tip (小费).
In a coffee shop, you sit at the counter or at a table. You don’t wait for the waitress to show you where to sit. She usually brings you coffee when you sit down. You tell her what you’d like to eat and she brings it to you. You pay the cashier (收银员) as you leave.
In a family restaurant, the waitress shows you where you can sit. Often the waitress tells you her name, but you don’t need to tell her yours. If you can’t finish eating everything, your waitress gives you a doggy bag to take the rest of food home. You should add (增加) fifteen per cent to the bill (账单) as a tip.
In top class restaurants, you had better order before you come, and you need to arrive on time. The waiter shows you where to sit. If you have wine there, he may ask you to taste it. You can only refuse it if it tastes bad. When you get your bill, check it and then add fifteen to twenty per cent to it as a tip for the waiter.

I cannot believe that it is already 2014! Where did 2013 go? I guess the saying is true: Time flies when you are having
I am going back to the USA soon, but I can’t my good friends in Nanjing. One of my favourite of 2013 in Nanjing was going boating in Xuanwu Lake Park with my friends. We usually did this during the summer months it’s warm, sunny and you don’t need to wear thick coats or long jeans like you do in the winter time. My friends and I would usually at Xuanwu Gate at 8:00 am on Sundays. We would often play for and then walk over to the bus station to take a bus to The Confucius Temple. When we got there, my favourite thing was the Chinese food, such as rice dumplings, smelly tofu and so on.
Even though I love summer, winter has so many fun things to do, too. I love most about winter time are the Christmas Trees in Xinjiekou. People the trees with many shiny lights and they were so beautiful and lovely. And I also got to meet a young man who up as Father Christmas around the trees. He was giving out presents or colourful boxes full of sweets.
Good bye, my Chinese friends. Happy Spring Festival!

After watching the film “Lost in the trip to Thailand”(泰囧), I went to the country with my best friend, Sandy. The following is my diary about the trip.
Saturday, March 24th
We get to the hot, wet city of Bangkok(曼谷).This is our first trip to Thailand(泰国). All the different smells make us want to try the food. We are going to eat something special for dinner tonight. The hotel we are staying in is cheap, and very clean.
Tuesday, March 27th
Bangkok is wonderful and surprising! The places are interesting. We visit the famous market on water, and see a lot of fruits and vegetables. Everything is so colorful, and we take hundreds of photos! Later today we will leave for Chiang Mai. We will take the train north, stay in Chiang Mai for two days, and then catch a bus to Chiang Rai.

Our trip to Chiang Rai is long and boring. We visit a small village in the mountains. The village people here love the quiet life --- no computers or phones. They always smile and say “hello”. Sandy and I can only speak a few words of Thai, so smiling is the best way to show our kindness. I feel good here and hope to be able to come back next year.
